Chapter 9: The Difficult First Battle
The next morning, Lin Ye woke up as usual, and all the discomfort in his body disappeared cleanly. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info downstairs, and Jenon had been waiting there for a long time.
On the table, breakfast was already ready. Today's breakfast was different from the previous ones, with rye bread, juice, and vegetable salad on the table.
This time, Lin Ye ate breakfast very comfortably, and after eating, Lin Ye and Jenon packed up their things and went to the competition venue.
When he arrived at the competition venue, Lin Ye first went to the organizing committee of the competition to measure his weight, and then entered the lounge. In the lounge, Jenon held Lin Ye's hand, wrapped him with a belt, and said as he wrapped it: "You're about to start your first actual battle later." I saw the opponent, it was a black young man, and I heard that the punch was very hard. When you come to power, you have to pay attention to defense, remember the defense essentials I taught you, and don't take the initiative to attack. I don't think you can win this game, so let's learn more from the actual battle. ”
Lin Ye sat on the chair and felt that the bandages were a little tight. After listening to Jenon's words, Lin Ye didn't pay much attention to it. Now Lin Ye's heart is a little panicked, because the next game is coming, and he is a little nervous.
At eight o'clock, the staff of the organizing committee arrived. The staff came to check Lin Ye's bandages. Before a boxing match, the boxing organization checks the boxer's bandages to see if they are properly wrapped and if there are any illegal things stuffed into them. There have been precedents in the past where fighters have done anything to put something in a bandage in order to increase the lethality and beat the opponent to death. Therefore, the staff is extremely strict about the inspection of bandages.
The second is to give gloves to the players. Boxers have the option to buy their gloves themselves or use the ones that are provided for free by boxing organizations. Either way, the gloves must be handed over to the boxing organization the day before the fight, and the boxing organization will check them and keep them. Wait until it's time for the game to send it to you, and at the same time supervise you to put it on. This is also to prevent fighters from illegally modifying gloves.
After checking Lin Ye's bandages, the staff handed over the fist gloves. Jenon put his fist gloves on Lin Ye and wrapped them tightly with special tape.
Lin Ye wore a fist glove and moved a few times, the gloves were purple, and the logo of the Golden Glove League was painted on them. Lin Ye felt that the gloves were heavier than the ones he wore during training. In comparison, the gloves of professional boxing are thinner, lighter, and more lethal; Amateur boxing, on the other hand, has thicker, heavier gloves and is less lethal.
Walking out of the passage, Lin Ye was only followed by coach Jenon and a staff member of the Golden Glove League. The passage is not long, and at the end is the playing field.
Five rings will be set up in the center of the arena, and the fighters will compete at the same time. The seats around the venue were almost full. The annual Golden Glove League always attracts many New Yorkers to watch.
Lin Ye was assigned to a ring on the left.
Walking to the edge of the ring, Lin Ye took a deep breath and was about to get into the ring. Jenon grabbed him and said, "Wait." ”
Jenon lifted the small lid containing Vaseline and smeared Vaseline on Lin Ye's face, shoulders and other exposed skin on his upper body. Then Jenon patted Lin Ye on the shoulder, lifted the rope of the ring, and Lin Ye got in.
His opponent has been standing there for a long time. Lin Ye's opponent is called Puttmis, who is nineteen years old this year. Puttmis looked at Lin Ye who came to the stage, with a look of disdain on his face. Although Putmies is only 19 years old this year, he has played more than 80 amateur matches and has a 97 percent win rate. He stood on the corner of the stage, made a few quick punch movements at Lin Ye, raised his face, and rushed his nose towards Lin Ye, looking like he couldn't be seen.
Lin Ye was as pale as usual, jumping in place to warm up. In fact, Lin Ye's heart was very uneasy, seeing that this kid on the other side was so arrogant, maybe he had two brushes, which was not easy to deal with.
After both sides came to the stage, the referee took the stage. Lin Ye and Puttmis stood on either side of the referee, facing each other. Lin Ye could clearly see the swarthy skin on Pu Misi's body, and the luster reflected by Vaseline on his skin. After the referee said a bunch of things like obeying the rules of the game, abiding by the spirit of sportsmanship, friendship first, and competition second, the two separated and stood on the corner of the stage.
As a bell rang, the referee waved his hand and the game began.
Lin Ye raised his arms to protect his head, walked quickly to the center, and confronted Putmis. After a moment of confrontation, Putmies attacked first, a tentative jab.
Lin Ye immediately folded his arms, but Putmis had a lot of power, and this jab knocked Lin Ye's gloves off. Immediately afterwards, a right hand fist slammed into Lin Ye's forehead.
Lin Ye was beaten so that his head tilted back, and his body couldn't help but take a step back. Although Lin Ye was wearing a helmet on his head, his brain was still slightly stunned. In this moment of confusion, Lin Ye's arms did not immediately return to the defense, and Putmies seized the gap, and then hit a combination of left hook and right hook. Lin Ye was beaten back and retreated to the edge of the rope.
Jenon in the audience shouted urgently: "Defend! Defend! Hearing the coach's words, Lin Ye finally reacted, and he hurriedly put his fists in front of his head. After Putmies finished a set of combination punches, seeing that Lin Ye finally reacted and raised his fists to defend, his feet slipped and he retreated. Putmies isn't good at hand-to-hand combat, so he's going to have to distance himself and hit Lin Ye from a distance.
It only took seven seconds for Putmies' attack, and in seven seconds, Lin Ye took more than a dozen punches. Although he was wearing protective gear, Lin Ye still faintly felt pain in his body.
Lin Ye stared at Puttmis, and a fire ignited in his heart. He stepped forward in a sprint and threw a straight punch with his left hand. But he was easily dodged by Putmies's dodge, and while dodging, Putmis's backhand punch was struck out at the same time, and it hit Lin Ye in the face firmly.
Lin Ye took this punch and sobered up in his head. Compared with the other party, there is too much difference in technology, speed and strength. Lin Ye's footsteps flickered, and he immediately stepped back. Putmies originally planned to follow up with a punch and then a left-handed hook, but saw Lin Ye retreat. He raised his fist and slowly pressed towards Lin Ye.
Lin Ye couldn't help but retreat, keeping his distance from Putmis. Retreated, retreated to the edge of the rope, leaning on the rope, Lin Ye stared closely at Putmis's movements. Putmies first shook his left fist to try control, and Lin Ye immediately lowered his head and pressed his arms tightly in front of him. After this tentative punch, Putmies followed up with left and right hooks to Lin Ye's sides.
This fist fell like raindrops, and Lin Ye didn't know how many punches he had received on both sides of his unprotected head and on his waist and ribs. Putmies paused after a fist fight. Seeing that Lin Ye was still frozen there with his arms protecting his head, he immediately hit him with another combination of punches.
Jenon in the audience couldn't help but want to cover his eyes, and he said loudly: "Don't stand there and be beaten!" Shake your body, shake up, and take the opportunity to fight back! ”
Lin Ye was struggling to bear Putmis's fist there, listening to the coach's words. I immediately remembered what Jenon had taught him, when he was forced to defend passively by the side of the rope, one of the best ways to defend was to keep shaking his upper body to reduce the landing point and lethality of the opponent's fist.
Lin Ye immediately bowed, then swung to the left and shook to the right. The upper body swayed up and down from side to side, and most of Putmis's fists slid against Lin Ye's skin. Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Ye seized the opportunity and punched out, forcing Putmies back. He slid and flashed to the side.
Although he successfully escaped from the side of the rope, Lin Ye still fell into a situation of being beaten in the whole way. The punch couldn't hit Putmies at all, and Putmis's punches kept falling on Lin Ye.
When the three-minute game time passed, Lin Ye felt like a year had passed. In this round, Lin Ye was beaten without the slightest backhand, and Putmies won the first round in a crushing manner.
After experiencing a fist rain, Lin Ye sat on the small bench in the corner of the stage, feeling that most of his upper body was hurting. In front of Putmis, there is no power to fight back at all, and the gap is too big. Jenon made up for Lin Ye with Vaseline, and said while wiping: "Defense is not for you to stand there and be beaten, but to wait for an opportunity to counterattack while defending against the opponent's attack!" You're just like a human punching bag. ”
Lin Ye said helplessly: "I can't even defend against it, there is a chance to counterattack!" ”
Jenon said: "Then find a way to find a chance to fight back!" Otherwise, you'll just be beaten passively. ”
The one-minute break passed quickly, and the second round began again.
This time, Putmies in the ring looked very relaxed. Probably because Lin Ye was too weak, Putmies's fists also got tricks. Putmis's arm clenched into a fist, spinning like a windmill, and punch after punch easily hit Lin Ye. This is a bit like Roy Jones's windmill boxing, Lin Ye was molested like this, and he simply didn't defend himself. He opened his fist and rushed up.
Originally, Lin Ye defended with a fist fight, and it took a little effort for Puttmis to break through Lin Ye's defense. Now that Lin Ye was completely empty, Putmis's fist immediately struck out like lightning.
Lin Ye received three or four punches in the face in an instant. But taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Ye also landed a right hook in the face of Putmis. Putmies didn't expect that Lin Ye, who was so weak in front of him, could hit him, and he was furious, and his fists rose and fell wildly. Lin Ye fought back with his fists. Putmies hit Lin Ye with ten punches, and Lin Ye could only return two or three punches from Putmis.
Both sides gave up defending at this time and attacked frantically. In the confrontation, Lin Ye was obviously at a disadvantage. Seeing that this continues, Lin Ye will still be defeated in points this round.
